I'm a bit worried because I sometimes get this pain in my chest. It tends to come and go quite a lot. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chest pain that comes and goes can have various causes, including heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, muscle strain, or anxiety. It is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. If you are experiencing chest pain, it is recommended to take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) and seek immediate medical attention to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm a bit worried after my recent health check-up. It showed something about ventricular preexcitation. I'm not really sure what that means and what I should be doing next. Can you help me understand this better and advise on what steps I should take?
In your case of ventricular preexcitation, the main concern is the risk of developing fast heart rhythms. To manage this condition, you can take medications such as Flecainide or Propafenone to help regulate your heart's rhythm. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Additionally, you may need to undergo further testing or procedures to assess the severity of the preexcitation and determine the best course of action. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist are essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. It's usually around 96, but it goes up to 120 when I walk. I don't have any other symptoms and I've had a thyroid test, ECG, and echo done, all of which came back normal. The only thing on the ECG was sinus tachycardia. I did have mild Covid last April. Should I be worried about this, or will my heart rate settle down on its own over time?
Sinus tachycardia is a common condition where the heart rate is elevated but the heart rhythm is normal. Since your thyroid, ECG, and echo results are normal, and considering your history of mild COVID-19 last year, your elevated heart rate may be due to post-viral effects. In most cases, sinus tachycardia resolves on its own as the body recovers from the viral illness. To help manage your heart rate, you can try to reduce stress, stay hydrated, and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. Monitoring your heart rate regularly and following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation is recommended.

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?
yes continue olmark 40 medication.
